On the day Prince died, a little girl named Amy was murdered in a bathroom at her high school. I want to apologize to Amy that I did not give her the attention she deserved. I was too busy thinking about my lost youth and how Prince had been a large part of my teenage soundtrack. While I was reminiscing about my high school boyfriend you were being beaten to death at your high school. I’m not sure what the connection is I’m trying to make but it is extremely sad that while an entire generation was thinking about the joys of first love you were dying for one.
It’s not a romantic tragedy like Romeo and Juliet but it is a tragedy. It’s a tragedy that a beautiful, young 15-year-old lost her life. It’s a tragedy that her life was taken by other young girls who will now have their lives forever changed. Amy, I just want to say I’m sorry that your death was overshadowed but I want you to know you are not forgotten.

Sad all around – It is nice of you to pay tribute to this beautiful young woman. I am sure there were many more that day also. It’s in our nature to recall and reflect on the famous, because that is the ‘news’ of the day, and they were stars. At the end of the day, all we can do is to pray for the families that lost a love one that day. If you don’t like to pray, you can just light a candle for them. RIP little lady.
So sad, and such a waste of a young life.
So, so so sad. Its very nice that you honored her in this way.
So sad, it is crazy something like that happened.
How sad and awful! That poor girl and her family. It definitely is a life ended too soon. I hope people stop and think and remember to act nicer to others. It is good of you to bring awareness to he and to say her name. She will be remembered.
What is wrong with kids these days? That is absolutely disgraceful!
